…of Barry’s little helper, and it helps him on his way, gets him through his busy day…

Kudos to the NY Daily News for however it came across the news that the Head, in a tribute to the era of his dad, apparently failed an amphetimines test last year. And, staying true to who he is, blamed it on a teammate:

“But according to several sources, when first informed by the MLB Players Association of the positive test, Bonds attributed it to a substance he had taken from the locker of teammate Mark Sweeney. Sources did not identify the drug in question but characterized it as a serious stimulant….Sweeney declined comment, but his agent, Barry Axelrod, told The News, ‘Mark was made aware of the fact that his name had been brought up, but he did not give Barry Bonds anything and there was nothing he could have given Barry Bonds.’”

Well. Guess Mark Sweeney is the latest in a long line (near infinite I would imagine) of teammates who would probably just as soon the Head get run over by a thresher before he has to see him again.

What a drag it is, getting old.

The Swamp’s resident French Guy all over this story in our overnite, but his morning hours in Europe with a thread here. Drop by with a thought or three.
